Suppose a consumer's satisfaction from consuming goods x and y is formulated by the equation U=X³Y². if the consumer provides a budget of 4000 to buy goods x and y the prices are 150 and 200 per unit, respectively, or the constraint function is 150x+200y=5250. calculate how many units of x and y must be purchased so that U is maximum and determine the value of U using the Lagrange method
